Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: Hey, hello friends from across the nation and around the world.
- 0:08Speaker 1: I'm Martin, and you are listening to Dad's bedtime stories. Tonight,
- 0:13Speaker 1: we're finally headed back to the all popular Cards of
- 0:18Speaker 1: Power series. As many of you know if you've been
- 0:21Speaker 1: following the series, we're currently in what we call the
- 0:25Speaker 1: Deity Level tournament, fighting for the top spot, of course,
- 0:29Speaker 1: using all of our high powered creatures, and as such,
- 0:34Speaker 1: I think we better check out these suggestions we have
- 0:37Speaker 1: for the Daity level tournament.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Ryan, and I have an idea for the
- 0:43Speaker 2: Cards of Power Daity Level tournament. So you and Magnus
- 0:50Speaker 2: go and face Ryan in the tournament, and Ryan has
- 0:57Speaker 2: an elemental panda. You fight the panda and it's really close,
- 1:03Speaker 2: but you slightly end up winning. Thanks. I love your podcast.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Thanks for the suggestion, Ryan, and thank you for listening.
- 1:12Speaker 1: I think we will put that in this episode. But
- 1:15Speaker 1: as most of you know, we actually need two different
- 1:17Speaker 1: creatures at least at minimum to be in the Daily
- 1:21Speaker 1: Level tournament. So I went through my other suggestions and
- 1:24Speaker 1: I found a related one, mostly because I figure Ryan
- 1:29Speaker 1: could maybe be like an elemental animal specialist. So let's
- 1:33Speaker 1: check out this other one.
- 1:36Speaker 3: Hi, my name is Mary Pastelia. I want to suggestion
- 1:40Speaker 3: for the Cause of Palace series where you have an
- 1:43Speaker 3: elemental guinea pig with skins and frames and all the
- 1:47Speaker 3: different elements of it. Now and it's wins. Also it's
- 1:52Speaker 3: very little and still wins, and it's and it's also
- 2:00Speaker 3: es damage with pumpkins.
- 2:03Speaker 1: All right, Melly, I love that a little guinea pig
- 2:06Speaker 1: with some serious powers named Pumpkin. Now, if you like
- 2:10Speaker 1: the podcast, don't forget to rate it and review it
- 2:13Speaker 1: wherever it is you're listening. If you want to add
- 2:15Speaker 1: free episodes, you can always join us on Patreon for
- 2:18Speaker 1: as little as one dollar a month. By the way,
- 2:20Speaker 1: because I think those should be pretty accessible to everyone.
- 2:23Speaker 1: And if you really like Cards of Power, guess what
- 2:27Speaker 1: we are coming out with the Cards of Power game,
- 2:32Speaker 1: a card game to be exact. I'm not sure on
- 2:36Speaker 1: the exact release date, but I will keep you all
- 2:38Speaker 1: up to date. So that's just something to look forward
- 2:40Speaker 1: to if that's something you would be interested in. Now
- 2:46Speaker 1: it's time to close your eyes, get as comfy as
- 2:49Speaker 1: you can in that bed, and imagine yourself doing what
- 2:53Speaker 1: the kid in the story does. You wake up inside
- 2:59Speaker 1: your well Aleien Hotel room on the combat planet that
- 3:04Speaker 1: you've been hanging out on for the Deity Level tournament.
- 3:08Speaker 1: You wake up Magnus and head down the elevator for
- 3:12Speaker 1: some breakfast. After eating, you go over to one of
- 3:17Speaker 1: the many computers and check out today's schedule to see
- 3:21Speaker 1: if you have a match planned. After scanning your ID card,
- 3:28Speaker 1: the system confirms that you do, in fact have a
- 3:32Speaker 1: match planned starting in less than a half hour. Well, Magnus,
- 3:38Speaker 1: are you ready? Ready? I was born ready. I'd like
- 3:43Speaker 1: to see one of these other animals that could actually
- 3:46Speaker 1: take me on. Uh, they're all deity level, buddy, I
- 3:50Speaker 1: think you should probably be a little less confident. Nah,
- 3:55Speaker 1: why would I do that? Magnus asks, all right, let's
- 4:00Speaker 1: get going. You head outside and instinctively summon your energy
- 4:06Speaker 1: wing card. That way, you don't have to walk through
- 4:09Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people. You flowed up over the
- 4:13Speaker 1: crowd as Magnus flaps behind you, and come in for
- 4:17Speaker 1: a gentle landing outside the arena that you were meant
- 4:22Speaker 1: to report to at the participant door. Of course, it's
- 4:27Speaker 1: much quieter there. One security guard allows you inside and
- 4:32Speaker 1: you head up to the desk to register I d
- 4:36Speaker 1: cord please. The woman at the counter asks, uh, you
- 4:41Speaker 1: present your ID card.
- 4:44Speaker 4: Very good.
- 4:45Speaker 1: You will be heading to the main arena.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Do you know the way?
- 4:51Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been there once before. Just point me in
- 4:54Speaker 1: the right direction. She points down the hall to the
- 4:58Speaker 1: change rooms. You head over, open up the door, and
- 5:05Speaker 1: you and Magnus sit down inside the change room waiting
- 5:09Speaker 1: to be called out into the arena. Well you're waiting.
- 5:13Speaker 1: You hear all sorts of strange noises, blasts, and well,
- 5:19Speaker 1: all kinds of destruction, likely from the match before you.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Then everything goes silent, followed by an enormous cheering crowd.
- 5:32Speaker 1: After a little while, the door to the change room
- 5:36Speaker 1: opens and another cardholder walks through, looking well, looking like
- 5:43Speaker 1: he's just been defeated. Good luck, he says, as he
- 5:48Speaker 1: walks straight through the change room and out the door. Thanks,
- 5:53Speaker 1: you say, Are you okay? I'll be fine, I'm only
- 5:59Speaker 1: emotional damaged. The door closes and you and Mangnus continue
- 6:05Speaker 1: to wait. After the staff have had enough time to
- 6:09Speaker 1: reset things, the door opens up, which is your queue
- 6:13Speaker 1: to step outside into the gigantic arena. You enter, and
- 6:19Speaker 1: immediately the crowd cheers for you from all different directions.
- 6:26Speaker 1: They seem to know who you are. Now, maybe some
- 6:29Speaker 1: of them watched your last battle or something. You lift
- 6:33Speaker 1: your hand into the air and wave hello to everyone
- 6:37Speaker 1: as you walk over to your protective battle circle. On
- 6:41Speaker 1: the other side of the arena, another kid is doing
- 6:45Speaker 1: the same.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, friends from across the universe and around
- 6:54Speaker 4: the world. Welcome to another exciting day level battle. Today
- 7:03Speaker 4: we have two very exciting opponents. The announcer goes on
- 7:10Speaker 4: to announce your name, who you are, that you're from Earth,
- 7:15Speaker 4: and that you're known mostly for your very powerful dragon Mangness.
- 7:24Speaker 4: And on the other side of the arena we have Ryan.
- 7:30Speaker 4: Ryan comes to us all the way from Alpha Century
- 7:35Speaker 4: and he's known for being an elemental specialist. Wood has
- 7:43Speaker 4: it that all of his main cards know all of
- 7:48Speaker 4: the different elements.
- 7:50Speaker 1: What a match this will be, folks. The crowd cheers again.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Then the referee cuts in, standing on his little floating
- 8:01Speaker 1: platform with the force field around it. All right, I
- 8:06Speaker 1: just want to remind every one of the rules here.
- 8:09Speaker 1: This is a battle until the first person knocks out
- 8:13Speaker 1: two of the other person's creatures. Now, of course, if
- 8:18Speaker 1: one of your cards has not been knocked out. You
- 8:21Speaker 1: can carry it forward.
- 8:22Speaker 5: To the next opponent, or you can choose to switch anyways.
- 8:27Speaker 5: One card out of time everyone, and as I said,
- 8:31Speaker 5: first one to knock out two of the other opponent's
- 8:34Speaker 5: cards wins.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Now it's time to choose your first card. You look
- 8:41Speaker 1: over at Magnus and nod as the protective force field
- 8:45Speaker 1: shoots up around you. Magnus immediately starts to glow and
- 8:51Speaker 1: of course grow larger and larger and larger until he's
- 8:57Speaker 1: reached his deity level form a gigantic black dragon with
- 9:04Speaker 1: veins of pure white sunlight energy. He lets out a
- 9:10Speaker 1: roar and blasts a plume of fire up towards the
- 9:14Speaker 1: ceiling of the arena. The crowd cheers, kind of looks
- 9:19Speaker 1: like he's putting on a show for them. On the
- 9:22Speaker 1: other side, Ryan's card Cores starts to glow. A stream
- 9:29Speaker 1: of light shoots out of it and forms itself into
- 9:34Speaker 1: a panda, A pretty big panda, but well it just
- 9:39Speaker 1: looks like a normal panda at first. Are you kidding me?
- 9:45Speaker 1: I can take on a panda in my sleep. The
- 9:49Speaker 1: match will begin in five four three two one. Magnus
- 9:58Speaker 1: immediately take in a huge breath and blasts out a
- 10:03Speaker 1: powerful stream of pure sunlight energy. Unfortunately, it passes straight
- 10:10Speaker 1: through the panda that, instead of being solid, is now
- 10:15Speaker 1: made of lightning. The lightning blasts over towards the side
- 10:21Speaker 1: of the arena and then straight back down at Magnus,
- 10:25Speaker 1: shocking him and causing him to fly into the wall. Now,
- 10:31Speaker 1: Magnus says, the lightning panda shoots back over to the
- 10:37Speaker 1: center of the arena and its element starts to change.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Fire begins to rise up around the panda, larger and larger,
- 10:49Speaker 1: creating a sort of fire panda outline outside the actual
- 10:55Speaker 1: elemental panda itself. If that makes any sense, It looks
- 11:01Speaker 1: kind of like a gigantic fire mechsuit surrounding the thing.
- 11:07Speaker 1: The panda roars, opens the mouth of the giant fire
- 11:12Speaker 1: part and blasts out a huge stream of fire. Then
- 11:18Speaker 1: it lifts up one of its fire hands and unleashes
- 11:22Speaker 1: a bolt of lightning. The fire glances off of Magnus,
- 11:26Speaker 1: but the bolt hits him dead center, again, shocking him. Oh,
- 11:32Speaker 1: he says, that's it. Magnus starts to light up. He
- 11:38Speaker 1: begins to glow brighter and brighter and brighter, until it
- 11:44Speaker 1: looks like he's surrounded by a miniature sun of his own.
- 11:49Speaker 1: The floor of the arena melts, as it often does,
- 11:53Speaker 1: straight into lava, and Magnus dives inside. The elemental panda
- 12:02Speaker 1: begins trying to strike what he can't see, punching down
- 12:08Speaker 1: towards the ground and splashing the lava everywhere with a
- 12:12Speaker 1: giant fire fist. Then he tries summoning rock out of
- 12:18Speaker 1: the lava, pulling pieces of lava into the air, solidifying
- 12:23Speaker 1: them together, and then chucking them down at the ground,
- 12:27Speaker 1: creating another huge splash of lava, but again nothing happens. Next,
- 12:36Speaker 1: he starts to gather water around him. Water starts to
- 12:40Speaker 1: solidify out of the air itself and spin around the
- 12:45Speaker 1: huge fire Panda. He splashes it down on the ground
- 12:50Speaker 1: and instantly cools the lava back to stone, though right
- 12:57Speaker 1: afterwards it melts again. The bare roars in frustration as
- 13:03Speaker 1: a huge lava dragon shoots out and tackles the thing.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Magnus flies straight up, bashes the panda out of the
- 13:14Speaker 1: center of the fire Panda and pulls it down towards
- 13:18Speaker 1: the ground, pulling it underneath the stone and lava. Moments later,
- 13:25Speaker 1: the panda flies out of the lava, its fur smoking,
- 13:30Speaker 1: pits the wall of the arena and lands on the
- 13:33Speaker 1: ground once again, starting to sink. It opens its eyes,
- 13:39Speaker 1: looking kind of angry. Air starts to swirl around it,
- 13:45Speaker 1: and the panda lifts up off of the ground, held
- 13:49Speaker 1: inside a little miniature tornado. From there, all of the
- 13:55Speaker 1: elements start to surround it. Fire, water, pieces of earth,
- 14:02Speaker 1: pieces of ice. It waits for a moment for Magnus
- 14:06Speaker 1: to once again shoot out of the lava, and it
- 14:10Speaker 1: unleashes a blast of all elements at once. They collide
- 14:15Speaker 1: with Magnus, sending him flying backwards against the arena wall
- 14:20Speaker 1: until well, until the elements start to swirl around him. Instead,
- 14:28Speaker 1: he shoots them back in the direction of the panda,
- 14:31Speaker 1: and well, it has the opposite effect. The panda flies
- 14:36Speaker 1: across the arena and smashes into the wall once again.
- 14:40Speaker 1: The two of them struggle back and forth for full
- 14:43Speaker 1: control over the different elements, but as the panda is distracted,
- 14:50Speaker 1: Magnus looks down towards the ground. Suddenly, a huge magma
- 14:58Speaker 1: like dragon shape sh boots out of it and splashes
- 15:02Speaker 1: into the panda on the other side, knocking it against
- 15:06Speaker 1: the wall and causing it to lose control of all
- 15:09Speaker 1: of the elements at once. Magnus wastes no time summoning
- 15:14Speaker 1: the lava up from the ground again, wrapping it around
- 15:18Speaker 1: the panda, and solidifying it all at the same time.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Then Magnus charges another huge breath and unleashes a powerful
- 15:29Speaker 1: blast of pure sunlight energy. When the energy hits the
- 15:35Speaker 1: now obsidian covered panda, the obsidian explodes, The panda flies
- 15:42Speaker 1: backward and smashes against the back wall. The stream continues
- 15:47Speaker 1: and continues and continues, until finally it looks like the
- 15:53Speaker 1: pandas reverting back to energy. Blue energy shoots up in
- 15:58Speaker 1: the air, but instead of returning to the card core,
- 16:04Speaker 1: it blasts straight at Magnus in the form of lightning.
- 16:08Speaker 1: The lightning hits Magnus, causing him to drop down to
- 16:12Speaker 1: the ground before solidifying into a panda once again. The
- 16:19Speaker 1: panda slowly closes its eyes, falls asleep, and finally actually
- 16:26Speaker 1: transforms into energy and shoots towards Ryan's card core. Magnus
- 16:33Speaker 1: is able to keep his eyes open, but just barely.
- 16:39Speaker 1: The announcer's voice fills the arena.
- 16:42Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, we seem to have a winner.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Round one goes to the fire dragon.
- 16:53Speaker 5: All right, kid, you can pick one more.
- 16:55Speaker 4: What'll it be?
- 16:57Speaker 2: Oh?
- 16:58Speaker 1: I have an idea, Ryan says, his cardcore, lighting up,
- 17:04Speaker 1: pumpkin go. A blue flash of light shoots out of
- 17:10Speaker 1: Ryan's chest, swirls through the arena, and reforms itself into
- 17:17Speaker 1: a really cute little guinea pig. The crowd lets out
- 17:23Speaker 1: a big aw all at once. Eh, Magnus, do you
- 17:30Speaker 1: need a break? I can call dominic in if you
- 17:33Speaker 1: need me to. Ah. Well, I'm not feeling the greatest,
- 17:38Speaker 1: but I think I can take on a guinea pig,
- 17:42Speaker 1: Magnus responds, man Just as he says that, the guinea
- 17:47Speaker 1: pig transforms into lightning, blasts across the arena and strikes
- 17:54Speaker 1: Magnez directly in the center. Nah, he says, feeling the
- 18:00Speaker 1: electricity blasting through his body. The lightning powered guinea pig
- 18:06Speaker 1: shoots up into the air and back down into Magnus,
- 18:11Speaker 1: again and again and again and again, striking him over
- 18:16Speaker 1: and over faster than he's even capable of responding, until
- 18:23Speaker 1: Magnus eventually gives in, closes his eyes, and transforms into energy,
- 18:31Speaker 1: shooting back into your card core. Oh well, interesting, ladies
- 18:38Speaker 1: and gentlemen, it seems we now have a tie, which
- 18:44Speaker 1: means that the next knockout will win the battle. Surprise
- 18:51Speaker 1: to see Magnus go. So suddenly you reach into your
- 18:55Speaker 1: card core and summon one of your other toughest creatures, Dominic,
- 19:01Speaker 1: the Magic Dingo, the huge Dingo appears in front of you,
- 19:08Speaker 1: and immediately it begins to duplicate itself. Other Dingoes, or
- 19:17Speaker 1: well Dingo clones start to appear all around the arena
- 19:22Speaker 1: time clones, versions of Dominic from other realities, other possibilities.
- 19:31Speaker 1: But the little guinea Pig doesn't waste any time. It
- 19:35Speaker 1: transforms into lightning once again and begins to blast towards
- 19:40Speaker 1: various clones as quickly as it can. Fire shoots out
- 19:45Speaker 1: bolts of rock fly around the arena, and one by
- 19:49Speaker 1: one they start taking out different versions of Dominic. The
- 19:54Speaker 1: attacks are far more powerful than anyone would have imagined.
- 19:59Speaker 1: The guinea Pig transforms into stone and blasts through one
- 20:04Speaker 1: of the versions like a little guinea pig bullet. It
- 20:09Speaker 1: transforms back into lightning and shoots into another. It gathers
- 20:14Speaker 1: into a fireball and blasts through a third. It flies
- 20:19Speaker 1: through the arena at a speed that's almost well invisible
- 20:24Speaker 1: to the naked eye, but it's not invisible to Dominic
- 20:31Speaker 1: as he usually does. The true version of Dominic simply disappears,
- 20:38Speaker 1: watching from the shadows. Then he increases his rate of existence,
- 20:45Speaker 1: speeding himself up to give himself a much better view
- 20:49Speaker 1: of what's happening. From that perspective, he can slowly watch
- 20:55Speaker 1: the little guinea pig fly through the air, transform into
- 21:00Speaker 1: various elements, and take out different versions of himself. And
- 21:06Speaker 1: while this little creature is obviously quite powerful, Dominic has
- 21:12Speaker 1: all the time in the world to decide what to
- 21:15Speaker 1: do with the thing. He lays down in the center
- 21:19Speaker 1: of the arena, opens his mouth and begins to well
- 21:26Speaker 1: sing for lack of a better word. The sound spreads
- 21:32Speaker 1: through the arena, and the other versions of him start
- 21:37Speaker 1: to join in, filling the arena with a strange and
- 21:43Speaker 1: incredibly relaxing sound, a sort of humming. Slowly, the little
- 21:52Speaker 1: guinea pig starts to slow down. In between blasts, it
- 21:57Speaker 1: stands and looks slightly disorient it or dizzy, as if
- 22:02Speaker 1: it's going to fall over. It shakes its head, transforms
- 22:06Speaker 1: into lightning, and blasts at another one of the dingoes,
- 22:11Speaker 1: but then the sound starts to overtake it. It transforms
- 22:17Speaker 1: into fire and blasts towards another, and Dominic sees his chance.
- 22:25Speaker 1: That is increased rate of speed and well being completely invisible, Dominic,
- 22:32Speaker 1: from his perspective, slowly walks towards the creature barreling through
- 22:37Speaker 1: the air in the form of a fireball. He opens
- 22:42Speaker 1: his mouth and snaps down on the thing. He reappears
- 22:48Speaker 1: for others to see the fireball stopping dead and transforming
- 22:54Speaker 1: into energy before blasting back to Ryan's card core.
- 23:01Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, it seems we have a winner.
- 23:09Speaker 1: You immediately reach into your card core once again nod
- 23:14Speaker 1: in thanks to Dominic the dingo. The time clones disappear,
- 23:20Speaker 1: Dominic himself transforms into energy and shoots back into your core.
- 23:27Speaker 1: It's a good thing you captured that dingo. He has
- 23:31Speaker 1: been nothing but useful in this tournament so far. The
- 23:36Speaker 1: crowd cheers. The little force fields around you and Ryan disappear,
- 23:42Speaker 1: and you both walk to the center to shake hands. Well,
- 23:47Speaker 1: how's a good match, you say to Ryan. Yeah, same
- 23:51Speaker 1: to you. I thought I had you there. I thought
- 23:56Speaker 1: you might too, you respond, and then the two of
- 24:01Speaker 1: you wave to the crowd once again and head in
- 24:04Speaker 1: opposite directions back towards your own change rooms. You pass
- 24:11Speaker 1: through the little change room all by yourself. Now that
- 24:15Speaker 1: Magnus has returned to energy and well, we'll have to regenerate.
- 24:22Speaker 1: You head out of the change room, wave hello to
- 24:26Speaker 1: the person attending the desk, and out the competitor's door
- 24:31Speaker 1: once again. To avoid the crowds, you reach into your
- 24:36Speaker 1: card core, and this time you summon your magic skateboard.
- 24:44Speaker 1: It appears under your feet, allowing you to roll along
- 24:48Speaker 1: the ground and straight up into the air. You blast
- 24:53Speaker 1: up and around the arena once before heading straight back
- 24:58Speaker 1: to your hotel room. You loop around your hotel room
- 25:03Speaker 1: in a circle, catch your own balcony and head straight
- 25:09Speaker 1: for it. The skateboard disappears. You land on the balcony
- 25:16Speaker 1: and swipe your key card against the door. The door
- 25:20Speaker 1: opens up and you head inside. You lay down on
- 25:26Speaker 1: one of the two super comfortable beds, which looks like
- 25:30Speaker 1: it's been made newly and fresh for you while you
- 25:34Speaker 1: were gone. You place your head on the pillow, pull
- 25:39Speaker 1: the covers up to your chin, and slowly allow your
- 25:45Speaker 1: muscles to relax. With each breath, you sink down a
- 25:51Speaker 1: little bit deeper into the mattress. You let go of
- 25:57Speaker 1: the tension in your arms and your legs, and your shoulders,
- 26:04Speaker 1: your neck, and even your face, and with each breath
- 26:12Speaker 1: you slowly drift off to thoughts of new dreams and
- 26:19Speaker 1: new adventures to come. Good Night, everyone, m.
- 30:14Speaker 6: M m.
- 33:46Speaker 4: M never.
